Thunder Bay Last Copy Agreement
At the Fall 2008 OCUL meeting at Lakehead University, directors agreed on a strategy
to address the challenges of maintaining low-use and last copy print materials. It was
agreed that the preservation of a last copy, regardless of format, is an important general
principle for OCUL, and that immediate action is required to ensure long-term retention.
In the short term, directors agreed to focus attention on the coordinated retention and
collaborative storage of print journals by OCUL members to address immediate short-
term space needs. It was also agreed that a distributed model is desirable, thus making
retention and collaborative storage shared responsibilities. Local decision-making and
simple procedures are essential to ensure a successful outcome for the coordinated
retention of printed journals by OCUL members.
Over the longer term, OCUL will explore opportunities for collaboration with other regional
and national organizations.
